Like many other Rensselaer county families the Cipperlys or Sipperly's descend from the Palatine family of Bernhard Zipperle Hunters List #844 found in the Palatine Families of New York, pages 1142-1146. Since there were several generations of intermarriage with my Weatherwax family I have been working on the Cipperly's as well. Please note the different spelling variations of the surname in the same document."
